March 17 – Future of Dementia Care

The future of dementia care is changing rapidly in Wisconsin.

A pair of organizations are building dementia villages – where residents can receive in-home care as their disease progresses – that would be among the first of their kind in the United States. Meanwhile, policymakers are taking steps to ease the burden of caregivers and address a looming shorting of long-term care workers.

Wisconsin Health News is assembling a panel of experts to examine what’s next for dementia care in the Badger State.

Panelists:

• Wendy Betley, Senior Program Director, Alzheimer’s Association Wisconsin Chapter
• Mary Pitsch, Co-Founder, Livasu
• Lynne Sexten, CEO, Agrace
• Carrie Molke, Director, Bureau of Aging and Disability Resources, Department of Health Services
